We bought some baby trumpets and a few boxes of sparklers today…
We are so getting ready to say goodbye to 2011 and say hello to 2012…
2011 has been a beautiful, beautiful year for me.
I had a deeper discovery of myself….
There were many new experiences with peanutbutter♥….{and the rest of the crew}
…and so much learning just when I thought I couldn’t learn more.
You could say I was forced to learn but I enjoyed the learning process so much, I would eagerly dive into my 2012.
There’s a few setbacks towards the last quarter of the year, though, which almost brought me into tears but it’s nothing a few cookies and virtual kisses couldn’t handle.
I’m excited to see the year in front of us? Are you?
What are your New Year’s Resolutions?
I’d definitely eat more pasta salads next year…
Our family loves mango in our pasta salad. And I love pasta salad of any kind. Check out my Shrimp-Mango Pasta Salad and Kani-Mango Pasta Salad.

Yummy!
I love the penne pasta and it has been a fave since I have tried it. Will try to make a simple penne salad for media noche inspired by your penne mango salad.
Sounds like such a great year!
I’ve never seen mango in a pasta salad, but I ADORE mangoes so I bet I’d love it!
Happy New Year, Peach! Sarap naman niyang recipe mo… gusto ko i-try kaso iba ang mangga dito… hindi kasing tamis ng mangga natin sa Pinas
Looks interesting! Mango anything I usually enjoy !
I love your addition of mango…this pasta salad sounds perfectly refreshing. If I closed my eyes and took a bite, I’d imagine it was warm and sunny outside. happy new year, Peachy 😀

Aw! My niece loves mango! I’ll have to make this for her the next time she visits.
Mango is one of my very favorite foods. Using it in a pasta dish is sheer genius and I can’t wait to make this. It looks fabulous!
So simple and so perfect! Yammy! Thanks for sharing!
